Distributed Multimodal Interaction Protocol: Enabling Transport of Distributed Interactions

Increasingly the world has ubiquitous access to mobile, personal technology provided through a variety of hardware form factors; smartphones, tablets, and more. Despite this, the ability to use these personal devices to control and interact with remote technology is limited further progress is mired by proprietary technologies that places this form of remote access technology in isolated software silos. This project provides an open standard networking protocol to enable transport of multimodal interactions between disparate endpoints, with minimal reliance on the personal devices’ software or hardware platform. This allows technology enablers to more easily design, develop, deploy and maintain flexible software solutions. Simplifying the software development life cycle allows for more access to technology by end users and can increase the resources available for user experience considerations. The defined protocol is validated through a number of sample implementation tests and by verifying its ability to transport multimodal interaction information.
